Abstract
Ozsváth and Stipsicz showed that some Eliashberg–Chekanov twist knots, which are Whitehead doubles of the unknot, are not Legendrian simple. We extend their result by considering some Whitehead doubles of the trefoil: Using properties of knot Floer homology and the distinguished surgery triangle, we show that this family of knots is Legendrian non-simple in the standard contact 3-sphere.

Acta Mathematica Hungarica is devoted to publishing research articles of top quality in all areas of pure and applied mathematics as well as in theoretical computer science. The journal is published yearly in three volumes (two issues per volume, in total 6 issues) in both print and electronic formats. Acta Mathematica Hungarica (formerly Acta Mathematica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae) was founded in 1950 by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
